The Caterpillar Plague

The caterpillars are disappearing from
Pee Dee swamp. For several weeks
countless numbers of them have infested
the forest bordering on Pee Dee. Never
in the memory of the oldest inhabitant.
have the loathsome pests been so nunler.
ous as this spring. Wherever they ap.
peared nearly every class Of tender vege.
tation was ruthlessly destroyed. Birds,
fish and hogs preyed upon them but
without perceptibly diminishing the
myriad hosts. The fish in the river after
eating the caterpillars became unfit for
food.
In some places the caterpillars collect.
ed in such numbers on fences that the
space between the rails was filled with,
them and the fence appeared to be moth.
ing but one solid mass of worms. One.
gentleman, of unquestionable veracity,
says he has seen them collected in heaps
of cylindrical shape measuring several
feet in length and Cen or twelve inches
in diameter. This same gentleman says
he has been compelled to keep his gates
propped open all the time or be putto
great trouble every time he wished to
open gate,. as the caterpillars would
collect in such numbers on and under the.
gates as to render the opening of them 3
matter Of no small difficulty. Fortunate.
ly these vermin have, SO far, done little
damage to the field crops, and as they are
now rapidly disappearing, it is hoped
that the infested communities will escape
without further hurt or harm.-Rsc Dee

lie Brought in the Game.

There was wedding in Brooklyn re.
Gently which was attended by crowd of
people, the bride beiDga q famous belle,
the bridegroom a late army officer.
There is a story about him that was
received with great effect at the wedding.
He was in the western frontier service,
and one day $50. the story goes) he went
out to hunt bear. he bad been away
from the camp few hours when his
voice was heared family in the distance
exclaimiDg:
: Here we come |"
In a little time theeame Cry was heard
again, but nearer; then it was repeated
at intervals, nearer and louder. when
finally the bold captain emerged from q
bit of woods near the camp, running at
the top of his speed, without hat, cap or
gun. In he came to camp shouting:
"Here we comep'
"Here who comes ~ inquired a brother
officer.
"Why, me and the game, gasped the
officer, pointing to a big black bear
which showed itself at the edge of the
woods, took a long look at the cemp, and
then, with growl at missing his expect
ed meal off the captain, disappeared in
the woods again.
"What's the use in shooting your
game" said the captain, testify, "when
you can bring it alive, as / did,"
The story got home before the captain
did, and vas in everybody's mouth. The
other night, as the old captain led his
intended bride into the church, with the
pride and grace soreadily inspired BY
the occasion, some wicked wag sang out
from the gallery:
"H.e.r.e we come"
Which was followed by such shout OF
laughter as the old church never heard
before.-Brookly,t Citizen.
